Because he used extra legal power to influence the government. Remember that the fabricated WMD "evidence" used to justify the second gulf war did not come through the standard intelligence channels. It came through the office of the VP.
Yeaaah.......and I guess he was the one responsible for pretty much every other countries' intelligence services thinking the same thing about WMD's in Iraq with Saddam.
Yea, reporting excessive quantities of truth would be the opposite of fox news.
Strangely enough....it is one of the highest rated cable networks and most of their shows are the highest watched out there of all news.
Considering all the other news outlets in the US pretty much just parrot what the white house/dems put forth...fox just balances them out by going a bit further right....but is tough to have only one network that isn't liberal leaning....
If it only gets 10 mpg highway there's something wrong. 10 mpg city is normal. My 1971 Corvette with a 454 got 15 mpg highway stock. Now with a 5-speed manual (overdrive) and EFI it gets 21 mph highway.
I was thinking of my friend's old one he had back in HS.....and that 10mpg likely was city...I don't know what it would get on the highway...but guessing with 4 speed, not likely more than about 15-18 MPG tops on the highway doing 85mph or so?
I don't see this as necessarily being anti-green. Certainly a project care isn't going to be your every day commuter, just something you take out on evenings/weekends for the fun of it.
Actually, I likely will be commuting most every day in it....this is not going to be a garage queen car. I actually do NOT want to buy a numbers matching, collectors item version of the car...I don't want something I'd worry about ruining the value of when I want to mod something.
Then again...my drive to work is about 8-10 minutes depending on traffic/how early I go to work. I'll likely blow a couple gallons of gas each day I drive to/from work.
I actually don't know much at all about working on cars...but I have friends that do and would help me learn. And I figure this would be a good car to learn on...you certainly don't have to plug it into a computer to figure things out.
Neat little history of the old TA's here....the ones '74 and older with the SD-455's are VERY expensive these days...so, I'm looking for a regular 455....and will do the mods on it myself. But trying to get one in as good of shape as I can to start with...so I can drive and have fun with it right away...and start to learn as I go along.
LOL....but I was trying to calculate the gasoline bill for this thing, if I was to buy in somewhat close to home (say 400 mi) and drive it home. At 10mpg...that's 40 gallons, and I think for premium the other day, I spent about $3.60/gallon...so, trip home would be about $144.
Man..wish I could have had one of these in the days before $0.70 / gallon gas.....lots of fun then!!
As long as you don't need to know what speed you're going or how much charge you've got left in the battery then sure.
Its not like I ever even bother to look at the speedometer these days anyway...until the radar detector goes off.....and I usually see them miles before they do me, so plenty of time to slow down.
ON longer highway trips...the old fashioned CB radio works even better, I know where cops are WAY before I even get near them.
I'd rather just mount my own tablet....so I can watch videos while driving on longer trips, and not have to bother with trying to bypass the manufactures installed video prevention crap.
With a nice 4G connection, I can even stream netflix while on a long road trip.
Until they bring back the Tesla Roadster for an electric car that isn't downright fugly and get it in the price range of a vette....I'm not interested.
Right now...I'm starting to shop around for a mostly restored '74-'76 Pontiac Trans Am, 455 ci 4-speed.
Yep...I'm looking to get between 8-10MPG...and have a hell of a time doing it.
These things are torque monsters, and were the last of the dying breed of muscle cars, insurance, govt. regulations and even then, gas prices were killing them off. But one can be had for a decent price now, and with some resto-mod work, these engines can be bulked up to nearly 500hp, new suspension will have it handle well.
Sure, I guess I could get a new camero...but I'd just be one more shmoe driving the same thing as everyone else. Not to mention....these new cars just don't sound as good as the old big blocks.
So, the hell with green, and high gas prices....I have a decent job...might as well enjoy an old ride while it is still available.
Where does that leave fans in high school or the first two-thirds of college who can't get into gigs because they live in a 21-to-enter state?
Wow..what concerts have you been to that had an age restrictions?
I mean sure, if you're talking about bars...yes, they do...but when I think concert..I think of the ones at the local stadium....never seen age restrictions there...?
I work at a college and we do no filtering of any kind due to academic freedom. There are issues from time to time but it is tolerated in the name of freedom.
I guess the person asking the question didn't specify, but I was under the assumption that this was for an elementary level type school....so, you're policing children, and you'd likely start with things mostly turned off, and then let on what you needed as required by the instructors.
Also, if that is the case...wouldn't most of these kids be too young to have FB accounts per the TOS for Facebook? If that's the case...no problem in banning FB entirely, eh?
While it may be a borderline racist method of expressing one's distaste with such things, it is still a valid point. I mean, doesn't having months dedicated to black and women's history sort of go against the whole "race/gender shouldn't matter, we're all created equal" thing that we're supposed to be learning growing up?
I know. I see the BET network is just fine...but if you were to put up a WET network, the racist flag would come out waving so fast it would make your head spin. Why?
It has to do with political parties too I've seen...can you imagine the uproar that would have come out, if Romney or Ryan had made the "put ya'll back in chains too" comment that Biden did to a majority black audience he was speaking to? Amazing that Biden is getting a pass on that one.....just when you think he can't get his foot in his mouth any further....
You mean beyond that fact that it's absolutely disgusting?
What's so disgusting about it? I've sold some of my old mattresses before....hell, when I was a broke college student, that's how you GOT a 'new' bed.....
I mean, you *do* look them over first, make sure it isn't dirty and stained, etc...but if it looks clean, what's the problem?
Not sure why this got modded into oblivion....this is pretty interesting for ideas....I don't agree with ALL of it..but most of it, IMHO, is very much on track and should be considered.
Ok...goodbye points....
:)
Oh well...sometimes you have to take one for the 'team'.
I cringe every time I hear something like this. If you want to reduce debt, you cut spending and raise revenues,
I wouldn't mind a modest raise in revenues...IF it could be guaranteed that that raise would not in any shape, form or fashion, be used for new spending. I want it only to go towards paying the debt down.
If they do that, and cut waste and spending (like any household or business has to do when they have less income that outgo)...I'd be cool with it.
Then again, while I'm wishing for things, I think I might as well ask for a pony too...
Dude...I don't like it to hardly reach FREEZING (32F).....and it rarely does here in New Orleans.
:)
I'm guessing -40C is really fucking cold....and I wouldn't want to live anywhere near that temperature.
I kinda like wearing shorts and tshirts when cooking my Thanksgiving meal near end of November....deep frying a turkey out doors on a nice warm, winter day.

Can you use this music for your videos (even for money generating ones) for free??

I'm sure its bad up there, but can't imagine it would hold a candle next to the mosquitos down here in the New Orleans area.....
I mean, after all...the mosquito is our state bird you know....
I've been trying to read up on surrounding my plates with hi intensity IR leds...but so far, nothing successful done out there that I can find.
I don't mind my plates being readable to the naked, human eye...but I don't car for the cameras watching and recording my every move.

I think the act still is illegal in many states, isn't it? They're still lots of laws on the books about sex acts that stray from the 'norm'.

whatever....
[We were evicted from our hole in the ground....]
Same thing could be asked of the current Obama administration's officials.
Wow...that's quite interesting, I'd never heard of such a thing.
I wonder why some areas would ban sales of used mattresses?
None of what I said was a 'racial slur'!!!
It also dawned on me, that people around me might start figuring out just how much time at work I spend on email....not all of it for business.
